Wonder if anyone can help? Replacing lead water pipe and have spoken to water board who are not very helpful and have told us to dig the trench etc and call once done for them to inspect. Cannot get any other advice from them!!
What is classed as suitable ducting for the mdpe pipe to be put inside as the pipe enters the building? Only thing we are thinking is plastic soil waste pipe but this seems overkill?? Many thanks
 
slow poly underground drain bend it has to be insulated if it rises within 750mm of the outside wall thereas a recent post on here with the rules and dimensions (within the last week)
 
Thanks ... will look for the recent post. Got all the insulation etc it was really just what was suitable ducting as didn't want to do it all and find water board weren't happy with it!! Cheers
 
Drainage centre will do ducting. You can also use soil pipe with 2- 45 degree bends or a slow 90. As mentioned by stevetheplumber have a look at previous posts for more info.
 
don't forget you need at least 750mm depth for the new run as well.
